Unread Posts and Reputation Comments (welcome box) · **Released**: 08-13-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system.

This will display the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).

Versions 1.22+ also display the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.

There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.

To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

You needed to read on a bit to post 33.

anyway to EXCLUDE certain threads or forums from the count?

eg: I don't RSS feeds showing up on this as it turns out to be new thread/information overload and drowns out 'legitimate' new posts.

Paul M · #44 08-28-2006, 07:33 PM

Nope, there is no such facility.

SCRIPT3R · #45 09-11-2006, 08:21 PM

possible to have flexible phrases depending on number of new posts/updated threads (similar to this hack)?

Number of Unread Posts: 0
Number of Unread Posts: 1
Number of Unread Posts: 2 (In One Thread)
Number of Unread Posts: 3 (In Two Threads)

Sorry, there are no plans to add anything to this, as it's not something I use myself.

installed and working OK, but it doesn't look as good as the 3.5 version.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
